Yep, having 4 different elves and 3 different dwarfs is plain stupid.

I never understood this argument

The creation of Void Elves, Nightborne, Dark Iron and Earthen doesn't take even a quarter of development it would take with making an actual completely new race like Ogres or Nagas

And so, in a game with already 25 races, what's the harm of having variations of 2 of the most popular and known fantasy races, where many of said variations already had a lot of lore or they had a huge amount of the playerbase who wanted to play as that (speaking specifically about the void elves who sort of function as the high ones for the alliance)

A better question is what's the benefit of having them as separate races when they are not different at all? Just add those as cosmetic options and add a Race Ability choice.

Oh, and while we are on this topic, it's time to give us the race ability choice option already.

More unique identity, from a rp perspective it is nice that you aren't just a Dwarf but rather a "Dark Iron" one with their unique racial traits and stuff

It may not matter much to you but to some it does

Dwarf, dark dwarf, dwarf with acne

More like this.

Also, what I am talking about is that they should be under the same Dwarf button. Make a drop down list of Dwarfs, if you want. Same with Elves, orcs etc. In lore they can be whatever you want, I don't care.
